December 16, 1981

At the "Wujek" hard coal mine, a ZOMO unit shot at the miners from close range. Seven of them died on the spot: Józef Czekalski, Krzysztof Giza, Ryszard Gzik, Bogusław Kopczak, Andrzej Pełka, Zbigniew Wilk, and Zenon Zając. In the next few days, two more - Joachim Gnida and Jan Stawisiński - succumbed to their wounds.
